Chapter 2. Enhanced Form and Editor Components

The PrimeFaces core library provides a huge variation of form components, ranging from basic InputText components to complex editor components in JSF applications. To make these form components validate against the proper results, the PrimeFaces library came up with basic message components and an advanced client-side validation framework. Even though the PrimeFaces core suite provided a wide range of form elements, the PrimeFaces Extensions library introduced new and enhanced form components that include high-level validations to make the PrimeFaces form elements and their validations more powerful.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

• Introducing the JobHub application, requirements, and design

• The commonly used input components and their features

• Advisory tooltips, remoteCommand components, and their features

• Working with advanced dynamic forms and editor components
